Kevin Rodriguez: +Durthquake - my T-Mobile phone is my central internet connection for all my electronics in my home being as I don't like twc and don't have home Wi-Fi... So speeds like this are important to someone doing what I'm doing especially when you have 5 or 6 devices sharing that connection at 1 time

Thoughts on Apple's new Swift language? So much lenience - optional main, semi-colons, parenthesis for control flow expressions.

Crazy performance benchmarks, but those had to be pretty selective. Obviously limited in platform, but would love if some of the Dart designers would share their thoughts in a write up!

Jaja Harris: The similarities between C# is crazy. After reading a bit more on it I have to say it seems to be a really cool language. I'll stick with xamarin and C# though, xamarin just released their new forms framework which provides 100% C# code reuse across ios and Android which is freaking awesome in my opinion!

Yissachar Radcliffe: It looks interesting (certainly more interested in it than Objective-C) but the platform lock-in will probably prevent me from using it. I don't want to write the same app again for Android. I'm more interested in cross-platform solutions (for games, there are plenty of options, for apps Xamarin looks really slick).

Freemen Muaddib: C# is the best language ever designed. Every language that imitate or copy from it is worth a try! This is why I found Dart and Swift both very promising. Unfortunately Swift ARC memory management is still problematic compared to the automated garbage collection of C# and Dart.
